EURO 2008 INFO

Despite losing to Spain, the country where plays, the defense Italian Fabio Cannavaro was satisfied with the performance of his team in this friendly in preparation for the UEFA EURO 2008 ™. The defeat was the fault of "a beautiful, unstoppable shot."

Golazo
When the party came to an end with the tie without goals, David Villa decided in favour of Spain 12 minutes from the end with a spectacular volley before which nothing could be done in the target Gianluigi Buffon. "The goal for Villa was very nice, an unstoppable shot. When you see a little like this all you can do is applaud him," said the defence of Real Madrid CF.

Single Style
Italy got a goal in the first part through Luca Toni, nullified by a lack of Cannavaro, and the Real Madrid player believes he and his colleagues can take positive things selection of the party. "We tried that we are a good team but lose. We have our own style. May not always had possession as Spain, but we try to go forward and cause them a lot of problems with our tactics."

Severe punishment
The next game for Italy will face Belgium on 30 May in Florence, ten days before debut at the UEFA EURO 2008 ™ to Holland. Donadoni believes that his players are well attuned to add the European crown to the FIFA World Cup that succeeded in 2006.

I am not worried because we played well," said the coach of 44 years.

Racha impressive
For his part, Luis Aragones will have less things to worry about now that the selection has reached 14 games without losing after what happened in the Manuel Martinez Valero Stadium. In addition, Spain has been running for five games without giving goals, but perhaps more surprising that they have managed to overcome falling behind Italian. "Italy is an astonishing selection and has the best defence in the world. We have overcome a great team physically stronger than us, and the only way to overcome it was taking possession. We have achieved, and that is where is the merit of Spain, "said Aragones, who made debut at the Liverpool FC player Alvaro Arbeloa.
